Does anyone have practical formulas to generate 512 bit random numbers that will work in C or a similar language? I am interested in random and pseudo random number generation. Are there any web pages on the subject? Are there any books with good programming examples? Also are there any programming examples that determine if a generated random number is prime?
To csanosi, stuart.threlfall@newellandbudge.com, and shadowtraitor, I was trying to reject only one answer, not all yours, which are still being evaluated. Sorry for the inconvenience. I sent TechRepublic a message about it. If they do not restore the original question in several days, please post any answer (or comment) on this question so I can give you the points.
